Tag Heuer underscored its pre-eminence in the luxury watch industry with the introduction of the Calibre S a patented hybrid movement that fuses mechanical watchmaking sophistication with the ultimate in precision. Inspired by car dashboards the distinctive architecture of the Calibre S eliminates the 2- or 3-counter configuration of traditional chronographs and offers the most logical way to easily read time elapsed chronograph time and countdown. The Calibre S movement makes it possible to display both time and chronograph functions with the same hands (hour minute second). To switch from standard time to chronograph or countdown mode a wearer has simply to press the crown. This exclusive movement is a technological marvel requiring 230 components and five high-performance bi-directional engines capable of twice the torque of conventional timepiece engines
